Comfort has been an increasingly important issue in air travel. Passenger comfort is clearly a key variable in research on user acceptance of transportation systems, and it is related to passengers’ satisfaction and the willingness to fly again. After realizing its importance in capturing and retaining customers, a growing number of airlines are focusing on comfort. How to improve the experience of passenger comfort has become a major strategic goal for the airline management.  2, record 1, English, - passenger%20comfort

The primary goal of regression analysis is to obtain predictions of one variable using the known values of another. These predictions are made by means of an equation such as Y=a + bX, which provides the estimate of an unknown variable Y when the value of another variable X is known. Such an expression is referred to as a regression equation.  3, record 3, English, - regression%20equation

For example, airlines know that passenger load is the most critical variable affecting their profitability. Therefore they focus on increasing this figure, adding as much to shareholder value as possible without destroying value in other aspects of the business. Likewise, a television cable company knows that the number of subscribers is the all-important variable in determining their profitability. The goal of value chain analysis is to discover these key drivers of shareholder value by understanding how each activity the firm undertakes creates value for customers.  1, record 5, English, - value%20driver

STEP is currently the major activity of the Scientific Committee on Solar-Terrestrial Physics, which was established by the International Council of Scientific Unions in 1987. The goal of STEP is to advance the quantitative understanding of the coupling mechanisms responsible for the transfer of energy and mass from one region of the solar-terrestrial system to another. The program seeks to improve the predictability of the effects of the variable components of solar energy and disturbance on the terrestrial environment, on technological systems in space and on earth and on the biosphere. STEP involves coordinated ground-based, aircraft, balloon, rocket and satellite measurements. It is organized in six projects.  4, record 6, English, - Science%20and%20Technology%20for%20Environmental%20Protection
